LDAP login handler improvements
===============================

New LDAPUserGroupAttributeType: dn
----------------------------------

When this is set, the LDAPUserGroupAttribute should be set to an LDAP
attribute that holds the DN of the group(s) that the user belongs to. If the
user belongs to multiple groups, then this attribute should be set multiple
times in the LDAP user object - it should not contain multiple DNs. (This is
how LDAP attributes are normally used.) The 'dn' value comes in addition to
the existing allowed values 'name' and 'id', which are not changed.

UseGroupAttribute mode can now create groups
--------------------------------------------

Previously when LDAPGroupMappingType=UseGroupAttribute, no user groups would
be created. If the indicated group(s) were not found, the user(s) would be
placed in the default group. With the addition of the LDAPCreateMissingGroups
setting this is now supported. When it is enabled, missing groups will be
created. It is disabled by default, for backwards compatibility.
